Dundee Roadrunners news

Our annual hill race, Auchterhouse Hill Race, will be held this Thursday, the 15th. The race starts just outside Auchterhouse and is a 3.25mile route, similar to the Whitetops Hill Race. Meet at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start.

To find the start, head to Kirkton of Auchterhouse. You can park in the village and jog/walk to the start. Go up the brae heading north; ignore turn-offs for Piper's Way, Parkside, Old Whiskey Road and Braeside. A few meters after Braeside is the path you require. Walk along the path, through the gate and the start line is 100 meters ahead.

We will be meeting at the Union for anyone who needs a lift or doesn't know the way. Meet at the Union at 6pm.

A reminder to all members that the Forfar 10K is our club 10K championship race.

For anyone coming along, we will be having a picnic afterwards on the market muir. Please bring some food and join in.

Well done to everyone who ran in the Auchterhouse Hill Race on Thursday. We had a lovely evening for it and a good turnout of 19 runners. It was brilliant to see some of you back at club who haven't been around for a while! Hamish Roper won the race, and Monica Padilla came 1st female.
